If I ever get to hear these songs at any future Crowded House shows I go to, I will be able to officially die a happy woman. Same with "Fingers Of Love" and "Into Temptation". I'd love to experience hearing those songs live and up close.

Sounds like a pretty good setlist there-what's the "We Need A Prime Minister" thing all about? Glad you had a good time .

That was a impromptu jam about the political situation in the Netherlands (we just had elections so now the political parties are trying to forge a new government and select new prime minister). Apparently, Neil had also performed it in Brussels the day before and someone shouted for it in Amsterdam.

Ohhhhhhh...listening to that brought back memories of the sing-along to that song at the show I saw (which will have been 3 years ago this coming August-wow). That is indeed a spine-tingling moment. And meltworthy. And gushworthy. And all sorts of other goo-related worthies . Awesome, beautiful song, easily a highlight live.

I really love the way the crowd's singing in that clip ended. Almost ghostly and haunting (in a good way). Crowd sounded nice. And I love it when Neil goes off and comes up with random lines during the song, too.

Haha, it should be, yeah, but I'm glad it's not. May he continue to be a good song hog.

Gah, now I want to go play some Crowded House music-will do that at some point tonight.

yeah, I'm very happy I got to hear those other 2 songs in Belfast 3 years ago

they've only just reunited in recent years, following the death of their original drummer a few years earlier. prior to that, they made many a good song, so don't be surprised if you've heard a few. imo, their other stuff is better, yes.
